tango for the win. I didn't like Google Talk's video quality. In my limited tests, Tango is far superior.

Skype work well with my Nexus s. With an xda tweaked skype app. May be you can find one for your phone...

Why do things have to be so difficult? I re-installed skype last night and all I got was audio on both ends. No video. Skype video works fine using my pc to video call someone else so the settings are not wrong. I just don

New skype version release 9/29 works beautifully. Bionic must be video enabled, and you must place your call as video, not audio.

I had also loaded the xda developer version previously and it worked great as well.

I was showing my friends and one who has the X said she "needs a new phone now!"
